Manitoba’s premier-designate is set to be sworn in Wednesday morning, along with the rest of his yet-to-be-named cabinet.
Wab Kinew, who made history Oct. 3 with the Manitoba NDP’s election victory, will become the first provincial premier of First Nations descent.
Lt.-Gov. Anita Neville will conduct the swearing-in ceremony, to be held at The Leaf in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park and will include performances by the Norman Chief Memorial Dancers and Dakota Hotain Singers as part of a tribute to Manitoba’s Indigenous nations.
Kinew told 680 CJOB Friday that his cabinet will reflect Manitoba culturally and geographically.
“We need to ensure there are representatives from all corners of the province. We need to ensure people from different walks of life and gender balance,” he said.
Global News will stream the event, which begins at 10 a.m., live on this page.
